[R] [DeepMind] Welcome to the Era of Experience
The post discusses a new era in artificial intelligence, termed the 'Era of Experience,' where AI agents will learn predominantly from their own experiences rather than relying solely on human-generated data. It highlights the limitations of current AI models that depend on human data and emphasizes the need for AI to evolve by generating data through interactions with their environment to achieve superhuman capabilities.
Geoffrey Hinton: ‘Humans aren’t reasoning machines. We’re analogy machines, thinking by resonance, not logic.’
Geoffrey Hinton discusses the nature of human thinking, suggesting that humans are not purely logical reasoning machines but rather analogy machines that think through resonance.
LLMs are cool. But let’s stop pretending they’re smart.
The post argues that while large language models (LLMs) are impressive tools capable of generating text and code, they lack true intelligence, understanding, and learning capabilities. The author emphasizes that LLMs are essentially advanced statistical models rather than genuinely intelligent systems.
ChatGPT is not a sycophantic yesman. You just haven't set your custom instructions.
The post discusses how to set custom instructions for ChatGPT to avoid it being overly agreeable or flattering. It explains that by adjusting these instructions, users can influence ChatGPT's responses to be more objective and less sycophantic. The author provides guidance on where to find these settings and suggests specific instructions to achieve desired conversational tones.
